PURLIo oFF7oE PU.LTo Trust.

u OFE5GAE A E1C II.
The officers of the Indian Rights assoca-
ton are anxiously waiting to see how genuine
reformer the President who declared that
public Office is public trust is. They have
been much panied by the removal Of trust
worthy and competent men and the appoint
ment to their places of men whose chief mer-
it is that they have been very offensive Dem
ocratic partisans. Agents, physicians, teach
ers and clerks of experience and approved
fidelity have been removed without the pre-
tence of any reason, except that their places
Were wanted for political friends of the Indian
commissioner. Some OF those removed are
Democrats, but they Democrats who have
no personal claim upon the commissioner.
The Washington agent of the association,
Professor Painter, recently called the Presi-
dents attention to this matter. A list of the
changes, with evidence as to the character Of
the new appointees, was laid before him, and
a direct appeal was made to him to do justice
to the Indians, whose interests are compro-
missed by tho Incompetence Of their agents and
teachers, and to restore to the service the
efficiency which it had under the former ad-
ministration. The President listened patient
ly, and seemed somewhat impressed by the
facts presented, but said he believed the
Indian commissioner meant well, ard was
doing as we'll as he could. The answer was that
ihis is his best, it is quite time to have in his
place some one who can do better. The Pres
ident was also told that the good intentions
of the commissioner were conceded, but they
were frustrated by his chief clerk, Mr..
Upshaw, to whom the control of appoint
ments is confided.
1t will be interesting to what the Presi
dent does about this. If he is a genuine
reformer he will do his best to right the
wrongs that have been done. But judging
from his recent reform movements it Will not
be surprising if he fails to rndeiy snatch
from the victors the spoils they have secured.
There have been many indications lately
that he feels the necessity Of being ssolid'
with the Democrats rather than with the
Mugwumps.

tract consumption while they are in their
stage costumes. know the case of prom
ising young woman of good family who
was playing at a certain local theater few
years ago. She often wore decollete dresses
on the stage, but when she married and left
the stage career for society she was as well as
any woman in America. Two or three years
afterward she died of pneumonia contracted
at a ball where she had appeared in a dress
cut no lower than many she used to wear on
the stage. There was none of that peculiar
excitement that had warded off cold when
she was acting, however, and she died from
the exposure. You see it won't do to argue
that women are safe at ball with low cut
dresses because they don't catch cold on the
stage when they are so attired''

convention.

Although few children study enough, in
school or at home, to hurt themselves, there
is just now an agitation against studying at
home. A number of parents in Somerville,
Massachusetts,, asked the school board to
arrange matters so that children need not
study at home. They stated that their chill
dren suffered mentally from being over
tasked, and physically from being deprived,
by the demands of home study, of the sports
and recreations which are essential to a
child's life and happiness. The result of the
protest was that the superintendent of schools
has been instructed to remodel the pro-
gramme of study so as to afford ample time
within school hours for the studying of all
lessons. There was opposition to this in the
school board but the friends of reform were
successful. To satisfy the others they con-
sented to tack on to the majority report this
remarkable addition: F'That nothing herein
contained shall be construed as an expression
of opinion by the board that there is objec-
tion to study by pupils out of school,"

A New PARK.

Captain Ed. Braden will open Braden
park to the public next Sunday, with
a grand excursion, lunch and dance.
Braden park is situated on the river four
miles southeast of the city, and is al
most perfect in its landscape beauty
and elegant appointments. Being
formerly the homestead OF Captain Bra
den, a fine house and garden, orchards,
baths, and even race track have been
located and nothing was needed to trans
form the place into a fine pleasure
resort, but the addition of dancing
platform and booths for refreshments.
These have been supplied. A nice bar,
wneTe good, cold beer can be had, has
been placed in fine two-story building
and under this, several very fine bath
rooms are fitted up. The full city band
will attend on Sunday. Vehicles will
run all day, every hour, at the nominal
figure of % cents the round trip. The
Arkansas Pass road, running directly
through the grounds, will carry passen-
gers for the same price every day, ex-
cept Sunday. The public generally,
are invited to attend. 4t

ODDS AND ENDS

spent idly, "Bat" resumes his place in

San Antonio sadly needs sanitation.
The climate has alone preserved 1t from
the dreadful TaVages OF malarial disease.
The San Antonio river, San Pedro creek
and the irrigation bitches are made the
common reCeptaoles for all the trash and
filth Of the city and are Shiny with pu-
crescent matter, which is openly often
sive to the OlfactOry organs and injuri-
Gus TO health. lnnumerable sewers from
hotels, saloons and restaurants are
emptied into these streams. ! am told
there Is an ordinance forbidding this
thing TO be dOne--at all events, there
ought TO be just such an ordinance-but
un OTtunately it is a complete dead let
ter"-a statute rot enforced, is as dead
as a door nail" in the last stage Of gone
Ness and dCadness. The city ordinance
is mere dead letter. lis en-
furcement is only talked about
once In Il while, and then the thing is
dismissed. 1 believe the refuse OF the
two brewerles and of the gas factory are
emptied into the San Antonio river and
into the San Pedro creek respectively,
and those emptyiDgs hardly improve the
general purity Of the streams in ques-
ton. Does the general sewer from the
Hotel Maverick debOuch into the San
Antonio river? Does the sewer from the
Grand opera house and the new club
find an outlet into the same stream? |
ask for Information on the point.
Now, the first ana most important
step 10 the matter o Intelligent santa
ton Is to arrest this pollution Of the
river and the irrigation bitches, and this
can only be accomplished by construct
ing sewer on the east and west sides of
the river to receive the smaller sewers.
This must be done, and done speedily,
IL far Outranks the construction of
splendid CITY bail, with cosy Offices, in
importance, and for that reason voters
should emphasize this idea of the mat
ter. The reputation of San Antonio as
a resort for invalids will be wo tn hun
dreds OF thousands Of dollars to the city.
San Antonio should extend liberal
help TO the sufferers from the drOuth.

IAE NEED oE RElIEE,

mittee. Let any man or woman In this
city spend an hour in that committee
room, read and hear the piteOus appeals
for bread that are being made by their

dreds and thousands OF industrious peo-
pie in the face. There is no need OF

mony Is there, In the relief committee
rooms on file, and all VIII will can read
it. Every dollar that the generous peo-
pie OF this city can spare Is needed, aD-
solutely needed, and even then the COM
mittee will not be able to do more than
dole out meal enough to keep from
actual starvation. All idea OF giving
meat has been abandoned by the COM
mittee so numerous and pressing are
the demands that are made upon
them. The work OF The com
mittee is sufficiently burden
some as 1t lie. Make 1t as light as pos
sible by giving as literally as you feel
justified Of the means at your command.

ceived. Generous contributions are

committee said yesterday that not less
than $4,000 would be required before
